Party sends solidarity message to Germany’s Rebellious Music Festival
- 2018 May 18

Nick G.

German authorities are threatening to close down this year’s Rebellious Music Festival scheduled to start today at Thuringia, one of the 16 states of contemporary Germany.
About 50 bands are currently listed to appear.  The theme of the Festival is anti-fascist, internationalist and revolutionary. The Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany’s (MLPD) youth organisation REBELL is a prominent organiser of the Festival.

 

Party Discussion Site Now Available
- 2016 Aug 29

The CPA (M-L) recently created a discussion site for the printing of articles that are relevant to the work of the Party, but not necessarily reflective of a considered Party viewpoint, and for the raising of questions of the Party by members and supporters.

This is a moderated website and not a site for endless and pointless posts.

The most recent article is by respected Australian Marxist historian Humphrey McQueen which responds to a view that talking of an impending crisis of capitalism is “crying wolf”.

The article can be found by following this link to the home page of the discussion site:  http://ozcom.ucoz.org/    

Members and supporters are asked to read the “How to use this website” post through a link on the top left hand side of the discussion site’s home page.
